⁷ “Blessed^(A) is the man who trusts in the Lord,
And whose hope is the Lord.
⁸ For he shall be ^(B)like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not ^[a]fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

^5 (A)Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
^(B)And lean not on your own understanding;
^6 (C)In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall ^[a]direct your paths.

“My cities shall again ^[a]spread out through prosperity;
^(A)The Lord will again comfort Zion,
And ^(B)will again choose Jerusalem.” ’ ”
